Policy Brief - Energy Decision-Makers’ Perspectives on the APAEC: Lessons Learned and the Way Forward

Key Points

1. There is a need for a shorter and more focused theme that aligns better with global development trends.
2. There is a need for a stronger connection between programme areas in achieving the common targets.
3. There is a need to improve communication flows and to have a more rigorous monitoring system for the progress towards APAEC targets and impacts.
4. It would be beneficial to have additional programmes to enhance the policy relevance of APAEC: “Knowledge and Capacity Development”; “Legal and Regulatory Framework”; and “Regional Energy Security”.
5. Agreed to hold additional discussion platforms (workshops) for the development of APAEC Phase II.
